They’re both seeing other people – but that didn’t stop Rita Ora and Liam Payne getting hot and heavy at the VMAs this weekend.
The pair, who duet on track For You, performed at the awards in New York City together.
And after the heated performance, Liam and Rita were seen “grinding” backstage.

In a video obtained by the Mail Online, Liam can clearly be seen with his arm around the singer, dancing and whispering as well as having his hand around her neck at one point.
“They were standing there talking, laughing, smiling and dancing,” an eyewitness told the publication.
“She was in front of him and his arms were wrapped around her. It definitely could have been something romantic but they didn’t kiss or anything.
“It was during the song Meant To Be and they were just dancing and laughing with each other.
“He was holding onto her and his hand was on her neck,” the insider added.
Liam certainly seems to be enjoying himself since he split with Cheryl, who is the mother of his son Bear.
In the space of two weeks he was linked to two young models, and is now said to be dating 20-year-old Cairo Dwek.
